Jakarta (ANTARA) – Head of Jakarta Transportation Service, Syafrin Liputo, said on Sunday that his team uses artificial intelligence (AI) to manage congestion at 20 intersections.He mentioned that AI can assist in traffic monitoring and adjust traffic light timings based on information from Google’s database. n AI-based application can also enhance the traffic management system and calculate the actual traffic volumes at the intersections. With the help of this technology, the Jakarta Transportation Service can determine the ratio between road capacity and traffic density. “The traffic lights can identify which section is more congested and prioritize longer green lights for that congested spot,” he remarked. dditionally, the service will prioritize public transportation, such as TransJakarta buses, at the intersections. The 20 intersections powered by AI are located at: Jembatan 2 Road-Tubagus Angke Road Kyai Tapa Road-Daan Mogot (Grogol) Road S Parman Road-Tomang Raya Road S Parman Road-K.S Tubun Road-Gatot Subroto (Slipi) Road Gatot Subroto Road-Rasuna Said (Kuningan) Road Gatot Subroto Road-Supomo (Pancoran) Road MT Haryono Road-Sutoyo Road D.I Panjaitan Road-Kalimalang Road Ahmad Yani Road-Utan Kayu Road Ahmad Yani Road-Pemuda Road-Pramuka Road Ahmad Yani Road-H. Ten Road Perintis Kemerdekaan Road-Letjen Suprapto Road Senen Raya Road-Kwitang Road Gunung Sahari Road-Wahidin Road Gunung Sahari Road-Dokter Sutomo Road Gunung Sahari Road-Angkasa Road-Samanhudi Road Gunung Sahari Road-Mangga Besar Road (Kartini) Gunung Sahari Road-Pangeran Jayakarta Road Gunung Sahari Road-Mangga Dua Road Perniagaan Raya Road-Pasar Pagi Flyover Road This year, the Transportation Service plans to implement similar technology at an additional 40 intersections in the capital city.
